Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the spiral-CT in patients with clinically suspected acute appendicitis. Material and Methods: A total of 124 patients referred for CT scan with suspected appendicitis between January 2005 and October 2006 were assessed for the appendiceal size and the presence of signs of appendicitis. The findings were correlated with surgical histopathology. R...

BACKGROUND Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation is recommended for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) despite anti-arrhythmic drugs (AADs). Radiofrequency ablation is widely accepted as an effective treatment for PAF. Cryoenergy by cryoballoon technique is an alternative to radiofrequency (RF) ablation. Cryoballoon ablation is safe, and has a similar success rate...

Background The coservative treatment based on exercises is the main therapeutic strategy widely used for patients affected by scoliosis not particularly important and as a supporting tool in case of prescription of brace. The specific exercises are furthermore means of treating scoliosis in adults, in order to reduce pain and to contrast the progression of the curves. According to SEAS approach...

A simple, accurate and sensitive spectroscopic method has been proposed for the assay of ciprofloxacin in tablet by least square treatment of fourier transform infrared spectrometric data obtained at the wavenumber corresponding to the carbonyl group centered at 1707 cm(-1). The method involves the extraction of the active ingredient with methanol followed by phosphate buffer pH 6.0. The excipi...

Molecular Pathways Brain Database (MPDB), is a novel database for molecular information of the brain pathways and is an initiative to provide an organized platform for researchers in the field of neuro-informatics. The database currently has information from 1850 molecules for three different sensory pathways namely olfactory transduction, photo transduction and long-term potentiation. The usef...
